[QUOTE="dun, post: 262181, member: 34"] Friend of mine calves spring and fall. Says the bottom line is the same. Higher prices in the spring are offset by higher costs to get them raised to selling weight. Spring calves bring less but the costs are lower. He does it so he doesn;t have all of his eggs in one basket. We calve late feb through the end of march. Calves are big enough to help keep the spring flush under control and very little hay is needed between calving and the start of the regrowth in the pastures. The last 3 years or so we've fed more hay during june through august then all of the winter. dun [/QUOTE]
